    Just found the arms a bit flimsy if one is not careful around them. Which I was not. Can't bend the purpose-built stuff they sell.
    Thought I'd offer an opinion. Cue joke about opinions being like assholes...

    I need to get something for the phone mount in the taco. Used magnetic on my old phone attached to vent. Worked great until you had full a/c or heat on. Then the phone would start acting coo-coo...


    In the CRV my iphone wedges perfectly between the climate knob and the bottom of stereo. No holder needed :)

    Thank you all for your replies. I'm not gonna quote because that would be obnoxious. I don't believe the tech deck is an option for me because #firstgenprobs. I'll do some window shopping and get back to ya. Leaning toward the mob as the ram mount mounted to the a pillar is kinda pricey. If I remember right it's over $60. Or maybe more.

    Well my decision just got harder. Mob mount is roughly the same price as doing the a pillar mount. Question about the mob mount @DannyBFresco @LTDSC : do you have to adjust the back knob every time you take the phone out/ put it in? Or is it fairly easy?

    for daily use i leave it loose, it doesnt move around and lowers back down on itself. For offroad i put it in place and tighten the knob.

    Its easy when i need to get out and snag a pic for the gram

    What I have found with the x mounts is the rubber cushion on the arm wears out then you deal with metal sticking out. Once the xmount for my phone is done I will look into a different type of holder for the phone. The one thing that I do like about them is they don't obstruct the inputs on the iphone.

    same. leave the knob a little loose and its strong enough to hold the phone in without issues but still quick to remove. off road --> > clock it down.

    Does anyone who had the mob mount have a S8?
    My concern is the aux cord on the phone is on the lower left side and the mount may block it....
